In the late 1970s, Stevens converted to [[Islam]] (specifically the radical [[Wahhabi]] sect, which led to [[Al-Qaeda]]'s creation), and stopped performing music until recently, because Wahhabi Islam prohibits music. Stevens is known to have been [[anti-Semitic|antisemitic]], since he has called Jews "corrupt" and "greedy", and has slipped anti-Israel references into his later songs.{{fact}} He is even known to have donated money to some Islamic terrorist groups.
